Description from the seller
Vintage SABA RX145 – Transistor Radio (1970s)
A Classic Piece of German Design – Fully Working & In Very Good Condition
This elegant SABA RX145 comes from an era when German manufacturers were redefining portable radio design. Built with the craftsmanship for which SABA was renowned, the RX145 blends functionality, clarity, and minimalist aesthetics in a way that has made it a favourite among collectors of mid-century electronics.
A Radio With a Story
The RX145 represents the transitional moment between the classic transistor age and the modern portable radio. Its linear dial, precise tuning mechanism, and clean front panel reflect the design philosophy of 1970s German consumer electronics: quality first, ornament second.
Even today, switching it on delivers that characteristic warm analogue sound—an experience that digital devices simply cannot replicate.
